SEVENTH TALK l37
have to do. We must bear in mind that it is not
enough to return love and kindliness, but that we
must also pour .out love and kindliness upon people
who may as yet scarcely know what those things
mean. That is what we have to do, and the more
perfectly we can do that, the more truly are we
disciples of the Master. You know how it was said of
the Master : " When He was reviled He reviled not
again," but committed Himself to Him that judgeth
righteously. We are all wronged and misjudged and
misunderstood at one time or another. You need
not worry about it. Karma will see after all that,
you have no need to trouble yourself. " Vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay." Leave it to
Him. You need not worry yourselves, justice will
always be done, and all that is wrong will some day
come right. Those who now misunderstand will some
day realise and be sorry that they misunderstood.
In the long run no injustice will be done ; the total
will come out as it should ; have no fear of that.
So remember, that our attitude must always be
the attitude of love. If other people fail to respond
to that love or misunderstand it, if they regard it
as sentimental or foolish, that is their way of looking
at it, for which we are not responsible. We must
learn to< treat them kindly, we must go on pouring
out our affection and our friendly feeling upon them
just the same. That is what a Master does. That
is what the Logos Himself is doing all the timeĽ
